I post this here - as the subject could become a problem.
I just read an article issued by the Federal Cyber Security Authority, Germany who has changed the severity of server attacks from Orange to red.
As far as I understand it, the problem lies within the library of Java Software = the weak entry point is named "Log4j".
As attacks were recently (successfully) launched on the online game "Minecraft" I was wondering if Adeptgamer
a) is aware of this very serious matter
and
b) is in contact with their new sever provider

I do not want to spread panic - I am just very concerned, as the BSI is a very respected government institution.
For german speaking players this is the link:

May the game continue.

While it's a big exploit, it isn't as far reaching as many people initially thought.

We only had one service that could potentially be susceptible, but that was patched the same day the fix was announced.

Generally, any security patches or recommendations are applied silently within 12-24 hours of being alerted to them (which is immediately, as I work in IT for a living).
